What is Epaderm Ointment used for?
Epaderm Ointment is a 3-in-1 emollient used to moisturise, cleanse and protect dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. It is suitable for managing conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis by helping to restore the skin's natural moisture barrier.
How does Epaderm Ointment work?
Epaderm Ointment forms a protective barrier over the skin that helps lock in moisture and reduce water loss. This keeps the skin hydrated, soft and protected while helping to relieve dryness and itching.
Can Epaderm Ointment be used as a soap substitute?
Yes. Epaderm Ointment can be used instead of soap when washing. It gently cleanses the skin without stripping away natural oils, making it suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
Can Epaderm Ointment be used in the bath?
Yes. Epaderm Ointment can be used as a bath additive by melting the recommended amount in warm water before bathing. Take care, as the bath may become slippery after use.
How often should I apply Epaderm Ointment?
Apply the ointment generously to affected areas as often as required, particularly after bathing, showering or washing your hands. Regular use helps maintain healthy, moisturised skin.
Is Epaderm Ointment suitable for eczema?
Yes. Epaderm Ointment is commonly recommended for people with eczema to help relieve dryness, reduce itching and protect the skin barrier. It can also be used alongside prescribed eczema treatments.
Who can use Epaderm Ointment?
Epaderm Ointment is suitable for adults, children and babies, including those with very dry or sensitive skin. If using on a baby or if you have concerns, consult your healthcare professional.
Does Epaderm Ointment contain fragrance or steroids?
No. Epaderm Ointment is free from fragrances, colourings and steroids, making it suitable for sensitive skin and long-term daily use.
Are there any side effects?
Epaderm Ointment is generally well tolerated. Occasionally, some people may experience mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction. Stop using the ointment and seek medical advice if severe irritation or swelling occurs.
How should I store Epaderm Ointment?
Store Epaderm Ointment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the container tightly closed and out of the sight and reach of children. As with all paraffin-based emollients, fabrics that come into contact with the ointment can become more flammable, so keep them away from naked flames and avoid smoking while using the product.
